End of summer vacation
We started with 3 old people and ended with the entire family, traveling from Iowa and Bloomington etc. It was so fun to all be together as we had not been all together to play and have fun for a while. Enjoyed being on the water and a friend came over with his pontoon and took us a ride of the lake. A great time was had by all.

Larry and Judy,
We are glad that you had a great stay. I just noticed that you gave us 1 out of 5 Stars. Was that a mistake or is there something we can do to improve?
